Have you ever been caught up in a situation where all of a sudden your email account was inundated with spammy, phishing emails ? Well, I sure this has happened with most of us and I really hate it. You mis out on critical emails and your overall work efficiency is decreased because you're now spending time on filtering emails rather than replying on them.
Not only spammy emails are a nuisance but they are also a security problem. Email spam evolves much faster than anti-spam features of your mail account. As spammers continuously try to find way into your accounts and if you may accidentally fall prey to them then they dictate the terms, even ask for ransom in some cases.
The fact that our email accounts are actually stored and sold to various eCommerce entities without our consent is outrageous. So, I think it is important to understand, how do your email accounts gets leaked for sale ? Even if you only used your account on reputed sites like Amazon, eBay, BestBuy which I am sure are not involved but still some people are able to get it.
